Remember Crush Gear? 

I remember these being a big thing in the Philippine, I as well had a bunch of kits, but I can't remember much of the anime. We also made paper counter parts to the kits at school, we would flick paper "crush gears" at each other and see which gets toppled over. Ah, the nostalgia hits just right

Zoids, Beyblade & Crushgear is the holy trinity

I got two raging bulls as a kid for some reason

Growing up in the Philippines, Crushgear, alongside Beyblade and Zoids (and a bit of Tamiya perhaps), were very popular when I was a kid, perhaps because they aired in the local mainstream channels. Although being that most Filipino kids have no money to buy toys, you'll find more bootlegs than originals of these stuff among the average kids. They were everywhere in the markets, but you'd have to go to the malls in the city (which were not readily accessible to those in the provinces) to buy the originals.

God I loved this show back when it aired in the PH. Crush Gear, Beyblade, and Tamiya Mini4wd was my childhood.

Absolutely loved Crush Gear show as a kid. I remember I bought one of the toys and it didn't work. Parents returned it and that was the end of that, never got a replacement. Kinda a core memory of disappointment as a child... Anyway recently I was in Japan and I found a kit at a retro store, bought it, built it, got it working. Genuinely felt like I closed off some inner demons there...

Always found it weird how Crush Gear came to Australia but not America

When I was a kid, I thought my crush gear toy was the most powerful thing I ever owned and I never let it be turned on for more than 3 seconds... Usually because it ends up under some furniture beyond my reach if I let it be.

Viseak!!!! Bro! You're the King! Thank you for bringing this up. I used to own a Garuda Phoenix and we get to really custom use some weapons, gears, and motors for this and battle. :) this is a nostalgia bomb!! I want to buy a garuda phoenix again :)

Had a bunch of these as a kid, loved them XD (Aussie too) Zoids, Medabots, Beyblade, and Crushgear - Loved it all

I'm from Philippines and crush gear and bey blade was huge when I was small

im from the philippines i use to watch this series and collect the toys back in the days, now my collection is somewhere in the storage box in our garage

I still remember it! Now I have two on the way from China

Yes! I do remember crush gear. My first crush gear toy was the "shooting mirage" it was a bootleg though. But I no longer have that anymore which is sad 😢.

Good god that's a throwback; I could never afford them 'cause they're so expensive back then, and we weren't exactly well-to-do back then either. I only ever owned bootlegs lmao

My Primary School Japanese teacher let us watch part of an episode of Crush Gear at the end of term and the intro has been living rent free in my head ever since.

I remembered. In 2009 I saw this Anime and my favourite cartoon still now. 😊😌 I'm From Bangladesh

It's literally 4am and I'm thinking about it now (new Zealand)

This is very nostalgic for me and my childhood. We we're so poor that I had to steal from my father's wallet and use the Money he kept there before they had me to buy one Crushgear! Oh I was on Cloud 9 when I bought it back then not knowing the wrath I'd get from my parents afterwards lol

Yes I do remember crush gear! As a kid I owned a few knockoff. It aired in Malaysia. But I never completed the series

It also aired in India, but I don't recall it running long enough

Dude thank u for being a fan n making this cos there isn’t a single other retrospective out there on this highly underrated but amazing classic goated gem the crush gear turbo franchise, it will always have a special place in me n my heart, It was def a big special part of my childhood since I’m from Australia and I would also go to the Philippines many times back then since I’m also related to that country by blood, kinda funny for some reason how it was only mostly big worldwide in 2 of my most important countries in my life but I’m sure it must’ve been kinda big in some other countries as well back then there’s proof of that, but it was def mostly its biggest in Australia n the Philippines worldwide out of Japan back then I remember seeing n buying the dvd’s n toys a lot in both those countries as a kid n I watched the show n played with the toys so much as a kid, n I had dvd’s n toys of the show from Australia and VCD’s n toys of the show from the Philippines, I loved it all so much some of the best times of my childhood that I’ll always cherish n I still love the whole franchise to this day n always will for the rest of my life We even had tazos from chips snacks packets of the show here in Australia back then that was also rlly cool, n ppl still sell those tazos, dvd’s n toys of the show online to this day iswtg xd crush gear for life man I’ve even made amvs of the show n I’m making a full amv tribute of it right now that’s how much I still n will always love the franchise, I’m an amv editor/maker n I suddenly came across ur crush gear vid on google while searching up some crush gear stuff today n I was genuinely kinda hyped when I first saw it before I watched it, I should’ve found it much sooner tho, n it also happened while I was working on my crush gear amv today xd I’ve watched the show many times when I was a kid n the last time I did was back in like 2014 as a teen I think n now I feel like rewatching it n getting into it all again this time as an adult since I’m coming back to it all again xd just everything about it is so cool n done rlly well to me n I can tell ur aussie as well like me btw, I always recognise the Aussie accent being an Aussie myself ofc

I used to watch this show when I was in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and I used to have this toy but sad to say it broke and it’s hard to fix

This was the first anime I ever watched, and it's my all-time favourite. Can't get enough of the battle sequences.

As someone from the Philippines, yes I do remember Crush Gear. One of the fads that my elementary school bought in to.

I'm in Australia I heard about it

I still have my Garuda Eagle and Garuda Phnx hahaha

Bro, every kid from the Middle East knew Crush Gear

Crush Gear and Zoids! Suddenly remembered it hahaha Oh and B-Daman

My brother and I watched it on Cheese Tv and he and I owned I think the Blue one and the Red one

I am the leader of the translation project for the Japanese original! Do check out the fansubs currently going on as the second season(The Budokan Cup) is nearing completion :) This video made my day fr, and it's so nice to see people talking about Crush Gear outside of Asia

i had a bunch of crush gears and had the dvd set upto when they stopped making volumes got that at the video store raided the anime section when it shut down

Watched it through Cartoon Network bought a couple of them toys just like Let's&Go mini 4wd

Ah i regret destroying every other toys i have as a kid. Bakugans, crushgears, tamiya, beyblades, bdamans. All of them i destroyed as a kid. But for some reason all of my zoids survived. Edit crush gears was big in the philippines back in the day but it was only for a short time. Kids destroyed all of them then moved on.

OK Beyblade I live and breathe and grew up with it and I will always love the original trilogy no matter what but this I never heard of this lol. But now it sounds really hilarious to say the words and then there was an anime that had battling race cars........ I swear Japan and their weird ideas for shows lol!

It was really big in the Philippines. It was a cross between Beyblade and - do you remember: Lets & Go? (mini 4WD) - .

It is basically the nostalgia of childhood.use to be a big fan of takeshi

I've never heard of Crush Gear, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Do you remember Medabots?

Haha yes definitely remember it, I remember finding it just after I started with zoids and gundam wing

It gets famous but on a short term not like beyblade that explodes tons of tournaments even we got a community tournaments on every barangays leading to national tournaments to asia tournament

Wow never heard of it but sounds cool

I do

Never watched Crush Gear, mainly cause it was never broadcasted in my country, but i do remember seeing it pop up on goggle after trying to rewatch air gear, so maybe google got those mixed because of the name. Would you recommend to watch it? I have rewatched beyblade, and even though it wasn't as good as I remember it, nostalgia made the rewatch tolerable. Having no nostalgia towards this anime, would it still be worth it? Nice video btw, hopefully we get more of these short ones where you talk about anime that's been buried and forgotten, it's always nice to discover new shows i've never heard of before. Cheers mate!

What? In southamerica i have never seen that.

This anime doesnt make any sense on how they control these machines and perform such moves

No I don't. But I like watching your stuff, so I guess I'm about find out about it.

Yes. just discovered it after discorvering mini 4wd. Also: do you remember mini 4wd? I'm probably sure you don't since it's very niche.
